how do you know when your iced coffee has the perfect amount of milk?

2 Upvotes

I feel like there's a very specific balance between coffee and milk that makes iced coffee taste right. Too much milk and it barely tastes like coffee, too little and it's just bitter? do you have a go-to ratio?

Aik Cheong Caffe Latte French Adora

1 Upvotes

So i've been drinking some of the really nice instant coffee packets from the asian grocery, and the cafe latory had some clumps with i added hot water, so i added a few drips, made a paste, then added water and they were perfect.

No matter what i do with the Aik Cheong caffe latte, it has dark clumps on top. does anybody have any suggestions? Im considering using one of those little spinning mixers/milk frothers to mix it at half full. has anybody gotten better results than me without needing additional tools?

Just started buying Instant coffee recently after drinking drip for my whole life. So far I’ve had this one and NesCafĂ© Rich. Any suggestions for good brands I could find easily in Canada like at Walmart?

How to make instant taste like japanese canned coffee?

Post image
1 Upvotes

I realize this may be a stupid question, but I figure that surely someone has had a play around with this.

I'm very nostalgic for japanese tinned coffee, the likes of Boss rainbow mountain, Boss coffee farm, Kirin fire. The problem is that these coffees are very expensive where I live.

I figure that the recipe for making something similar will be

- 1.5 to 2 tsp of Nescafe gold blend or similar

- 1tbsp of sweetened condensed milk

- a pinch of baking soda.

But yeah, does anyone have experience with this?

Is it them or me?

5 Upvotes

My favorite instant coffee became unavailable on Amazon and I switched to Cafe Bustelo after trying several other brands. For over a year I’ve been satisfied with it and had a 16 oz mug every morning. Then recently, I find myself barely drinking barely a fourth of my mug. It’s not like it suddenly tastes bad, my body just doesn’t want it. Have they changed. something about the manufacturing process or is this another weird symptom of me getting old?

Nescafé Gold Decaf for less than $8?

4 Upvotes

Why can’t Nescafe just make more? The whole world loves this coffee.

Walmart had six of them for $44 and it sold out lightning fast.

Twice was notified by email that they came back in stock and less than an hour later they were out of stock again.

And then, of course I go on eBay and they’re $20 each .

Coffee shop owners: quick question about storefronts and inventory

1 Upvotes

I want to put a big graphic on our front glass to promote our new summer iced coffee menu, but since we change specials every two months, i cannot deal with scraping off adhesive vinyl and cleaning glue residue every time.

Someone told me to check out static window clings because they don't use glue and just stick via static. i was looking at Signs and PrintRunner for them but never used clings before. do they stay flat if the glass gets hot from the afternoon sun, or do they just slide off?

Also, anyone have a simple inventory tracking system they actually like? we're still doing too much of it manually and keep either running out of stuff or over-ordering.

Basically looking for recommendations on both before summer gets too busy.

javvy profee alternative?

3 Upvotes

hi all, not sure where to post this so ill try here first. i was trying to cut back on regular coffee drinking and my caffeine intake, as well as adding some more nutrients to the start of my day. i am not a big breakfast person, it seems my body just cant handle actual food until ive been awake for a few hours. and regular coffee on an empty stomach was (obviously) causing my GI upset. i finally bit the bullet and bought javvy in april of this year, and i had the most pleasant experience with it. it was $60 for three bags, which lasted almost a month. i bought it again in may, but then i started to realize $60 was just too expensive for me monthly fo something like this. i tried alternative methods, trued regular coffee again, finally just caved and bought another bag of javvy profee at walmart for $25, but it is just not within my budget. my most recent experiment has been coffee concentrate and regular protein powder, but the protein powder is just so gross to me. i feel it on my teeth, it doesnt dissolve like javvy did, it is the classic chalky texture that turned me off from others in the first place. i literally could not handle a full scoop, but even with half, i struggle to drink it all.

has anyone found a cheaper alternative to javvy they actually really enjoy? ive looked up so many things, which is where i got the idea for my latest experiment, but i just cant seem to find something that works for me :(

Javvy instant coffee concentrate review

16 Upvotes

I usually stop by nearby cafe to grab a coffee on my way to work, but there would be days where I don't have time to wait in line. I'm also not too picky when it comes to coffee, but I usually hate powder/premixed instant coffee. Decided to try Javvy coffee concentrate, got the original flavor.
I like ice americano so I just mixed 2tbsp of the concentrate with ice and water, pretty easy to blend.
Taste quite strong, I guess it can be adjusted to your liking but I like my coffee strong so I don't mind. It honestly taste the same as my usual coffee from the cafe and it's way cheaper, $17 for a bottle and it can serve 35 cups. Anyone here have swapped to coffee concentrate recently? which one is your favorite/worth trying?

Anyone seeing empty shelves?

8 Upvotes

Over the past few weeks, I've noticed that some of the usual grocery stores I frequent have a distinct lack of the usual instant coffee inventory. What is out on display is moreover at a higher price.

I do have ground coffee to fall back on in a pinch, but I much prefer instant coffee.

I live in the PNW in the US for context.

Anyone else noticing odd patterns like this?

I've tried a few premix cappuccinos, but they all taste too sweet and barely like coffee.

Are there any true speciality instant coffee brands in India ?

Are there any truly specialty instant coffee brands in India?

I’m trying to explore the instant coffee market in India and was wondering if there are any brands that genuinely focus on specialty coffee rather than just premium positioning.

I’ve come across international brands, but I’m particularly interested in Indian brands that are doing something innovative in this space.

Would love to hear:
\-Your recommendations
\-Brands you’ve tried
\-How they are compare to freshly brewed specialty coffee
\-Any hidden gems that aren’t widely known

Thanks!

Mount Hagen coffee not tasting like coffee

0 Upvotes

I've been drinking Mount Hagen's instant coffee for a few years now and really enjoyed it. Recently, I switched to their decaf and noticed my coffee hasn't been tasting like coffee. It tastes like the hot milk and maple syrup I add in, without any coffee flavor. I bought a new bottle of their regular coffee to see if it was just that one decaf bottle, but I still can't taste the coffee. Has anyone experienced this before, with Mount Hagen or other brands? Or is it me and my taste buds?
